Just curious, before this election did you watch c-span?

[life_long_dem]

I always thought it was strictly Congressional hearings. Now I know it is much more than that. I never thought I would be watching it on a daily basis, I'm getting burnt out on all this campaigning.

Kerry on...thanks to whoever first said that, it's a great line.

1. I can't remember my life ........

before this election.

2. Yep, I've been watching it forever. Love BookTV

and used to enjoy Washington Journal until it became a horrid version of freeperville.

I wish their website had a schedule that is readable and I certainly have complaints here and there, but damn, it's the best we have. Where else can you see unedited political discourse?

3. Yep

For many a year.

Learned stuff I didn't even want to know, heh.

4. Sadly, I did! Certain things that interested me.

Lots of watching during the run up to the 2000 election, like I do now with this election.

5. yes, we love having the newspapers read to us....

with all the good parts highlighted in yellow!

6. thanks for the comments everyone.

My number one reason for watching is because it's the true
"No Spin Zone".

7. I'm a nerd

I started watching in 7th grade during the Clinton-Dole election and haven't stopped since.

8. Yep

I've been watching since (at minimum) 1985. I've even called in a couple of times and got on the air. :)

9. Nope

Only the book stuff and rarely that.

10. I never paid attention to politics until the repugs stole the 2000 electio

:-)

11. Heck yes, but never the call-in shows

Well, almost never. If the guest is outstanding and interesting I might watch until they get to the callers.

I love the debates from around the country, and the analysis forums. Anything that gives me a chance to learn something about society/politics I didn't already know.

I knew how to read a newspaper and use a highlight pen decades ago. I'm glad that progam is on while I'm still happily asleep.
